Abstract
The author of the article examines the iron ornaments of the belt and harness that were found in the burial grounds of the Yenisei Kyrgyz (10th-13th AD). He studies the technology of manufacturing of products made with using of dies and matrix. In total 32 items were found. After a series of experiments, two technological schemes were reconstructed: «basma» and bilateral stamping (Fig. 1-3). They illustrate the evolution of the technological tradition of making of iron toreutics. The first scheme arose as an attempt to imitate bronze products, it was labour-intensive and used only for making objects. The second scheme was designed for quick making of identical plaques in conditions of the developed production. Both schemes were complementary in the dominance of wrought things.
